Personalberichterstattung der M-Dax-Unternehmen und der 20 größten familiengeführten Unternehmen
No full textDiese Studie untersucht die Personalberichterstattung der fünfzig im M-Dax gelisteten Unternehmen sowie der zwanzig größten nicht börsennotierten familiengeführten Unternehmen. Die Ergebnisse werden nach inhaltlich vergleichenden Kriterien unternehmensübergreifend sowie in Form von Einzelporträts der 70 Unternehmen dargestellt. In diesen Porträts werden Umfang und Inhalte der Personalberichterstattung zusammengefasst. Nachwuchsförderung und Personalentwicklung stehen im Zentrum der Berichterstattung. Auch Fragestellungen des demografischen Wandels spielen eine zunehmende Rolle. Insgesamt berichten börsennotierte Unternehmen ausführlicher und mit breiterem Themenspektrum als die großen Familienunternehmen
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Analyse des Earnings Managements der M-DAX Unternehmen
Get PDFDas Management eines Unternehmens kann Mithilfe von bilanzpolitischen Maßnahmen bewusst Einfluss auf das Unternehmensergebnis nehmen. Durch Ausnutzung von Ermessenspielräumen bei der Bildung und Auflösung von Rückstellungen können stille Reserven gebildet und in späteren Perioden wieder aufgelöst werden.
In dieser Masterarbeit wurde untersucht ob die Unternehmen des M-DAX mithilfe der Big-Bath-Accounting-Methode oder der Income-Smoothing-Methode bewusst Einfluss auf das Jahresergebnis genommen haben. Hierfür wurden die Geschäftsberichte der Zielgruppe im Zeitraum von 2009 – 2018 empirisch untersucht. Um die Gültigkeit der Hypothesen zu überprüfen wurde das ausgewiesene EBIT mit einem bereinigten EBIT verglichen. Für die Ermittlung des bereinigten EBITs wurden die tatsächlichen Rückstellungsbildungen bzw. Rückstellungsauflösungen durch die über den Betrachtungszeitraum durchschnittlichen Rückstellungsbildung bzw. Rückstellungsauflösung ersetzt.
Die Ergebnisse der empirischen Untersuchung haben gezeigt, dass die Unternehmen der Zielgruppe Mithilfe von Rückstellungen großen Einfluss auf das EBIT nehmen können. Weiter konnte belegt werden, dass die meisten Unternehmen bei der Rückstellungsbewertung grundsätzlich vorsichtig agieren und höhere Beträge in Rückstellungen bilanzieren.The management of a company can consciously influence the company's results with the help of balance sheet policy measures. By making use of a discretionary scope in the formation and release of provisions, hidden reserves can be formed and released again in later periods.
This master's thesis investigated whether the companies of the M-DAX have consciously influenced the annual result by using the Big-Bath-Accounting-Method or the Income-Smoothing-Method. For this purpose, the annual reports of the target group in the period 2009 - 2018 were empirically studied. To test the validity of the hypotheses, the reported EBIT was compared with an adjusted EBIT. In order to determine the adjusted EBIT, the actual formation or reversal of provisions was replaced by the average formation or reversal of provisions over the analyzed period under review.
The results of the empirical study have shown that the companies in the target group can greatly influence the EBIT with the help of provisions. Furthermore, it showed that most companies are generally cautious in the valuation of provisions and report higher amounts in provisions
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
